In the palace, I finished watching the immortality.

Concubine Zhang went to pour tea for Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Jing himself.

The two of them sat down, and then there was a secret talk.

Emperor Aoki said: "The biggest point in the articles of association of the East India Company is that it makes me feel a little doubtful."

Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty also asks you to show me."

Emperor Apocalypse picked up the tea cup, sipped the tea, and said, "This Dutch country granted the East India Company full rights. In addition to letting them pay 18% of the annual income, the rest are dividends from shareholders. However... this is secondly. What I value is that the Netherlands also granted the East India Company arbitrary power, which...is worthy of doubt."

This is also the truth. All under the world is the king's land.

The so-called arbitrary power is equivalent to transferring part of the sovereignty to the company.

Recruiting soldiers on your own and conducting diplomacy on your own.

In addition to paying 18% of the income, it means that the Ming Dynasty allowed them to openly carry out diplomatic and military activities in various countries in the name of the Ming Dynasty court. This is not just a commercial act.

Zhang Jingyi thought about it carefully before saying, "Since it is a company, the company is mainly profit-oriented, which is profit-oriented. The company is different from the court. The court must be concerned about the national economy and people's livelihood, but the company does not need it."

After a pause, Zhang Jingyi said again: "This is the problem. This big ship has sailed for less than a year or two and cannot come back. If there is no right to adapt to the situation outside, let alone doing business, it is unknown whether these sailors can survive. The so-called "being outside is not subject to the orders of the king, which is the truth. Your Majesty, the situation overseas is different from the Ming Dynasty. There is no good thing in the world, and there must be gains and losses."

Emperor Aoki nodded: "Can you trust this Zhang San?"

Zhang Jingyi said, "What do you think about Your Majesty?"

"If you trust it, it will be okay to grant him full authority. If you don't trust it, I'm a little worried."

Zhang Jingyi said: "Your Majesty is the biggest shareholder. According to the rules of this company, you can't use the method of governing the world when treating this company."

Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "It makes sense, I am too worried. Speaking of Zhang San, I remember that after I ordered the pirates, some people strongly opposed it."

Zhang Jing was not surprised at all. If no one in the court opposed the pirates in Zhao'an, it would be strange. But he still followed the words of Emperor Tianqi: "I don't know who it is?"

Emperor Tianqi said lightly: "Yuan Chonghuan."

Zhang Jing was stunned: "Why is this?"

Emperor Tianqi said: "It's nothing more than a cliché. He believes that I am raising thieves for trouble. Sooner or later, he will be retaliated by these thieves in the future. He said that my top priority is to solve the problem in Liaodong, especially to provide supplies to the Guanning Army. As for these thieves at sea... they are too late to kill, so how can I still give them permission to do so?"

Zhang Jingyi immediately noticed the word "The thief at sea": "In the memorials, are they also used for "the thief at sea"?"

Emperor Tianqi said: "I am deeply impressed by this word. Yes, I am using this word."

Zhang Jingyi immediately realized that Yuan Chonghuan's memorial was not for Zhang San at all, and the so-called thief at sea... was just towards Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong was stationed on Pi Island, recruiting a large number of people from Liaodong to harass the Jiannu people through ships.

Because the Pi Island where Dongjiang Town is located is far away from Guanning, Mao Wenlong is very strong-willed, so it is naturally impossible for Yuan Chonghuan, who is far away from everything, to control himself.

The conflict between these two people is probably already intensified.

If this continues, it will be irreconcilable.

Zhang Jingyi was quite disgusted with this. The situation in Liaodong had become so decayed that it was still taking any opportunity to attack each other. If Huang Taiji knew about it, he would be afraid that he would wake up in a dream.

Zhang Jing said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if there is a memorial on Pi Island?"

Emperor Tianqi said: "Are you talking about the Mao Qing family? The Mao Qing family also submitted a memorial and strongly agreed to the acquisition of pirates. He believed that if the pirates could be used by our Ming Dynasty, it would have great benefits to the battle situation in Liaodong."

Zhang Jing immediately learned the truth and recruited pirates. To some extent, it greatly strengthened the Ming Dynasty's maritime transportation and combat capabilities.

This did not benefit the Guanning Army led by Yuan Chonghuan. On the contrary, Mao Wenlong from Dongjiang Town could obtain more powerful fleet support, and the court would inevitably greatly increase the strength of Dongjiang Town. Everything in Dongjiang Town comes from the supply of the fleet. In this way, one will increase and the other will decrease, and the strength between Guanning Army and Dongjiang Town may be reversed.

After all, this is a stakeholder issue.

Emperor Tianqi saw that Zhang Jingyi had a calm brow and did not speak, so he said, "Why didn't Zhang Qing speak?"

Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly and said, "My Ming Dynasty is far above the Jiannu people in terms of population, military strength, and even firearms. But now it has been defeated continuously. I have been thinking, why is the Ming Dynasty so much? Today, I understand it when His Majesty talked about these two memorials."

Emperor Tianqi could not help but say, "Can't I see through it? But since I ascended the throne, I have always looked like this, which really makes people feel heartbroken! But what's the use of heartbroken? I can't control them."

Hearing this, Zhang Jingyi didn't know what to say.

Seeing that it was getting late again, he stood up and said goodbye.

When he left the Forbidden City, he saw the Zhang family waiting here. As soon as he saw Zhang Jingyi, he immediately stepped forward to greet him and said happily: "Master, please go back quickly."

Zhang Jing nodded. The people from the Zhang family were ready to get off the carriage. Zhang Jing said, "Why is my father so anxious today?"

"I said there were guests, so please go to the teahouse."

Teahouse...

But I don't know what the hell was selling.

Zhang Jingyi then got on the carriage, went all the way to a teahouse, got off the car, and then led by his friend to a private room.

Xu Bu went in, but saw Zhang Tianlun and Zhang San sitting here. Zhang Jingyi was a little surprised.

As soon as he saw Zhang Jing coming in, Zhang Tianlun immediately said excitedly: "It can be considered that when you come back, you are such a bastard, come and see you."

Zhang Jing looked at Zhang San speechlessly, and said in his heart that in one day, this old guy climbed to the world's biggest thigh Wei Zhongxian.

Turning his head... This is even his father's thighs climbed up.

Zhang Sanze smiled at Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Tianlun said happily: "Jingyi, do you remember, I once told you... the third uncle..."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but say, "Uncle San? Isn't the third uncle dead hundreds of times?"

"Nonsense!" Zhang Tianlun widened his eyes: "I can't listen to you as my father. He is your elder, a close relative connected by blood. His bones are broken and the tendons are connected."

Zhang Jingyi said: "But you said..."

Zhang Tianlun immediately interrupted Zhang Jing and said, "Okay, don't talk too much. This is your third uncle. Why don't you come to see him?"

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

Just when Zhang Jing was stunned, Zhang San had already stood up and said with emotion: "Nephew..."

Zhang Jingyi was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.

Zhang Tianlun had to say awkwardly: "Uncle San, this child is ignorant, don't worry."

"I don't care much about it. I am ashamed. Before Jingyi was born, I have already left the country. I can't watch him grow up. Alas... Jingyi is a good nephew."

Zhang Jing felt dizzy.

Zhao Announced a pirate and went home, but Zhao Announced a father... No, an uncle came back.

He sat down blankly.

Zhang San got up, poured tea for Zhang Jing himself, and then sighed and said, "Jingyi is so handsome, I don't know if she has married."

Zhang Tianlun said in a reproachful tone: "Jingyi, your uncle has poured you tea. You should not be disrespectful to your uncle. Don't forget that this is the uncle that the father often mentions in front of you."

Zhang San smiled: "He can't accept it for the moment, but it's okay. Besides, when I go out in the future, I still need to keep a distance from him. It doesn't matter whether he recognizes me or not, I am alone... I am alone anyway. Jingyi, just chatting with your father, and then I realized that you are so promising. Our Zhang family... not only has successors, but also shines the family. When I was overseas, I was worried about this family. Now... I have a pillar like you at home, so I can feel at ease as a uncle. I am very sorry for you, my father, and even more so for my deceased brother..."

As he said that, he felt true feelings and couldn't help but wipe his tears: "But now... I can see you now, I don't know how happy I should be... I have no children, will I give Jingyi everything in the future? Jingyi... If you call me "Uncle Three", I will be content."

When Zhang Jing heard this, she felt so funny.

After struggling for a long time, I obediently said, "Uncle San."

Zhang San was overjoyed and said, "Now, our family is reunited. In the future, I will go to sea. At least on this land, there are people worthy of attachment. Jingyi... You must get married and have children earlier..."

Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm working hard. Oh, no, this is not what I should work hard on, it is my father's business."

Zhang San looked at Zhang Tianlun.

Zhang Tianlun sighed: "I'm working hard."

The three of them had a meal together.

Zhang San stood up and said, "I can't stay here. The Ministry of Rites has prepared a hotel for me. If I keep here, I'm afraid I'll be suspicious. My nephew, when we are outside in the future, we will still be like before, and we won't show any flaws."

Zhang Jingyi didn't say much. Although he had been together for a few days, he knew in his heart that Zhang San's temperament was a very cautious person.
